St. Dupont "Service Without Fail" RAID Watch
Here is some serious French testosterone in a watch. Made for or influenced by the special, elite operations branch of the national French police known as RAID. The highly secretive special force is interesting because they often recruit people directly from the public, as opposed to existing police or military personnel. The purpose of the group as part of the national police, is to combat and investigate major crimes and terrorism. RAID stands for "Recherche Assistance Intervention Dissuasion." In English, "Research, Assistance, Intervention, Deterrence." They seem to kick enough ass to get a watch made for them with their logo on it.St. Dupont make watches, among other luxury items, and will soon release a limited edition set of these RAID watches. The "Service Without Fail" part of the name is apparently RAID's motto. At first glance I like the watch. It is a bit "heavy" on the eyes, and does feature a extreme boldness, but in an appealing way. Although the watch does feature a des

Bulova pocket watch movement in a 1962 case
I was wondering if anyone know what type/number a pocket watch with no sub dial and the crown at the 12. Would have. Thanks

Was Jeremy Clarkson right?
Rolex has always been on the top of my list. I had a Panerai phase (still love them). I respect and hope to someday own one of the Haute Horlogerie brands; AP, PP, VC, Breguet, Blancain, Glashutte Original and the list goes on and on. However, Rolex has always been number one. Omega on the other hand wasn't even in my top ten list. I have previously owned a SMP 2254 and a Speedmaster Auto and had loved them, but Rolex to me was in another league. I have a trip coming up that is going to be filled with activities, from skiing to swimming (Dubai) and everything in between. Not wanting to take my Daytona and not being able to afford a Sub, I bought myself a black SMP 300 Quartz. Today, for the third time in a row, I wear my Daytona and take it off within an hour. I'm comparing a 94' rattly 16520 to a BNIB Omega but still, the Seamaster feels so much better. The bracelet puts Rolex to shame and the hards are amazing. I still love Rolex but I have grown a lot of respect towards Omega.

Brown dial nautilus?
Was in a meeting today with a new staff member when I noticed he was wearing what looked like a Nautilus. However, the dial colour was brown - it was the first time I've seen a Nautilus with that particular coloured dial.So I took several more glances at his watch and it confirmed it was a PP Nautilus. Since he was new and I didn't know him very well, I was up to asking him more about his watch.After coming home, I decided do a google search for a brown dialed Nautilus since it was the first time I seen it. However, I couldn't find any hits for an authentic stainless steel brown dialed Nautilus. But there were several replica watch sites that posted the watch my colleague was wearing. See attached pic I copied from one of the replica outlets.So was he wearing a fake? Or was that an authentic but rare model?

My New Pepsi :D
Managed to acquire another Pepsi before the prices become far too expensive.Very much recommend Giles from Oakleigh Watches who sold this 2005 non lug holes example. Very happy with it and the faded Pepsi bezel is a sweet touch. I definitely recommend Oakleigh Watches as they are not based in London so the price was very competitive indeed especially since I got a full set.
